When I try to check the device enrollment configuration detail its showing just black brackets instead of Null or No device enrollment.
Is it normal or whats the reason for black brackets? Please check the attached image.
Using for my personal use - Bought used - Is it still linked to the prev persons company through device enrollment?

On Big Sur, not enrolled,
Code:
sudo profiles show -type enrollment
returns
Error fetching Device Enrollment configuration: Client is not DEP enabled.
and
Code:
sudo profiles show
returns
There are no configuration profiles installed in the system domain

This is high Sierra. And the sudo profiles show retured
There are no configuration profiles installed in the system domain
So I believe the -type enrollment resulted in those brackets and can be ignored?

Yes, that is what returns in a High Sierra virtual machine that has never been enrolled.

hey, i hade a mdm mbp as well and kinda scared to update it,
but differently, i'm in monterey and the command displays this
1666713302529.jpeg

does this mean it is enrolled or not, as checking the serial number online, it has applecare+ but i do not know, it was a new laptop that i bought, so maybe stolen from a company, the shop told me it was mdm enrolled, but i cannot find anywhere any trace of mdm profiles, it does have the hosts hack, and i'm too scared to reset it

Just like on Big Sur (see above), that is the response for a Mac that is not enrolled.

it does have the hosts hack, and i'm too scared to reset it
Host hack?
To check the hosts file, run in Terminal
cat /etc/hosts
This the default configuration:
Code:
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1    localhost
255.255.255.255    broadcasthost
::1             localhost

Check your DNS servers too https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-dns-settings-network-preferences-mac-mh14127/mac
You can use public ones
Google DNS Servers
8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
Cloudflare
1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1
OpenDNS
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

Thanks for the reply

On the hosts hack i mean the change where they send the 3 mdm management addresses to 0.0.0.0, i also have them blocked on my pihole, since i use that as a dns resolver at home
So yeah
